thank you but i'm using windows 7. i used to be able to transfer my discs to hdd no problems but that was a couple of years ago and i'm having trouble remembering. i don't recall having to split files. all the games were 4.3gig then

You were probably using an NTFS setup with games in ISO format then. It is now recommended to use FAT32 (with 32kb clusters) and use Wii Backup Manager to add the games in compressed WBFS format.

problem solved

i have solved the problem now. the wii is now in tiny, sharp fragments in my back yard, with bits of it still stuck to the sledgehammer.
it was a pleasure knowing you all.
thank god i don't have to think about that "Removed Profanity!" wii ever, ever again

the problem i'm having is opening the md5summer exe file. it just will not open. avast scans it but okays it, but it just wont run. it says to run it on my pc. that is correct isn't it. or am i supposed to be running it on the wii. this has had me stumped for 3 days now. i always get to this point in the guide, then come unstuck. its driving me round the twist. why wont it run. if it is only to verify files is there any other way of verifying them?

oh right. sorry cjizzle. have you any clues as to why i can't get this md5summer file to run. its driving me nuts? still have all the old files on the wii. ie usb loader, backup manager etc. but i probably need newer versions now

Install d2x v9 from the d2x cios installation guide linked to below in my sig. That possibly could fix your HDD issue. As far as those two apps, Im assuming you are using a mac? If so I cant give any help on that one, PC user here.

I installed the d2x v9 and now when I open USB Loader up, it doesn't detect the hard drive at all. Tried opening up WiiFlow also but still nothing. Was I supposed to uninstall the d2x v10 (just making a guess here, not sure if it was installed with the original guide)? Is there anything else I can try or if not, how can I uninstall the v9? Also, I used the offline installation if that matters.

"Pariah69er", Are you being serious...,.Dude...That is not what we are saying , re-read the rules and just don't double/triple post...."IN A ROW!!.

Hello
I've bought a used Wii recently its already hacked but it only has a wierd version of gecko os and a homebrew save file but no homebrew channel found.

so i wanted to install homebrew channel again so i can add other channels like usb loader and such, so in my state is trying to install homebrew, bootmii and wads again into the system would damage it in any way or is it fine ?
and how can I check my system IOS stuff ?

so far i've tried some backup disks of my games using the installed gecko os and they all seem to work fine expect for TLoZ:SS ? anyone know why is that though ?
